I am Deepak Haldankar,my dad Raghunath Sambhajee Haldankar was Daulat's maternial uncle, i.e.Daulat was my first cousin.I had watched him perfoming on stage in a marathi play uttering the lines "Chandu chadla chinch che cha zadhawar —–" , when I was a little boy.I remember once he had asked me to enter a classroom and climb on the table when the professor was busy writing on the blackboard in Linghraj college,Belgaum 1955-56, during college ellections and canvass for him I shouted "Vote for D.P.Mutekar- Foot Ball is his symbol. The students in theclass clapped and laughed,the professor turned and lifted me down and asked to leave the classroom.
I admired him ,he was my rolemodel- I always wanted to be like him. He wrote me a letter after seeing my first film "Armying the Mountains" -a FILMS DIVISION short film screened in a cinema house in Belgaum. I felt so nice for being appreciated . I will cherish that moment all my life.

He was cousin brother of my mother (SUMAN KAREKAR). We, at present, stay in Bandra, Mumbai. We need his telephone no or any contact no on which we can talk with my Mami. So please help me. My mobile no. is 09821229385. This will be of great help to us. Waiting for your quick reply.

Prasad.
